Do you want to know how to find profitable long tail keywords? In my last article entitled “How Can I Get Money to Start My Own Business,” I would advise my subscribers to possibly disregard the information that is presented for the following reasons:
1.) I didn’t write the article for you but rather for the people looking for that information.
2.) You probably know how to get money to start your own business…
However for those that have decided to follow my articles very closely, if you have a blog that’s focused on internet marketing or the MMO field, I would challenge you to create a similar article and try to compete with me for the long tail keyword that I targeted…
This blog has been created to do a few things, firstly I want to show off my knowledge regarding internet marketing and search engine optimization and use it as an online portfolio in order to obtain consulting clients and joint venture partners.
Secondly I am hoping to make money off the traffic that doesn’t feel like sticking around, people are going to look for certain keywords everyday and if those keywords involve something that I am interested in, you better believe that I will be right there to provide them with the information they are looking for.
Whether it be tips on how to maximize your google adsense revenue or Google Analytics help, this website is going to provide the information that people are looking for.
Last but not least, I have created this blog and website in order to establish a relationship with like minded people that wouldn’t mind reaching out in order to make a community and a network that is greater than our individual operations. I am not talking about a cult but rather a sort of resource directory that we can call upon when we need advice, assistance with link building, support for a new product or service i.e. promotions.
Once again I have taken a turn off the article title line into one of my enjoyable but off the topic rants.
Let’s get back on the focus of this article which is:
“How do I find profitable long tail keywords?”
This is something that I have been asking myself lately, I have a general methodology for going about this but recently it’s been a hobby of mine to reinvent the wheel so to speak for several of my “common practices,” regarding internet marketing and business growth in general.
I’ve focused my efforts in the past on using the Google Keyword tool or products like Keyword Elite to find profitable niches and long tail keywords that accommodate them. Lately I’ve been playing around with a free service called Wordtracker and to be honest, I am extremely happy with the information it provides. Because it gives you long tail keywords that accommodate your search keyword, just like Google, it’s a very handy thing to have. In addition, the free service gives you the number of times people search for your long tail term on a daily basis. This is something that Google doesn’t provide and its also something that I think is fantastic.
Think about it, find a product or service that has a high Adwords bid price, then go and type the name of that product or service into wordtracker, then go down the list and find a long tail term that gives you a decent amount of daily searches but that has a very low number of competitors for the term. You can do this by plugging in the worm sentence into Google with quotations to request an exact match.
Seriously, I don’t claim to be an expert on this subject but try both of these approaches and tell me which one works the best for you!
Maybe down the road I will write another article with a revised method that works better than this but until then I definitely don’t want people coming back and asking me how to find profitable long tail keywords.
If you’ve got a better way to do this research, please tell us, what is your approach?
